I am looking to move my GameEx install to a new drive. I do not want to configure everything again. I note hte config directory contains files with some paths in it.

Looking to do just a drive letter replacement, I.e. Everything is installed in the root of C right now, I want just move it to G and the rest will remain the same \GameEx etc...

Will replacing the drive in these INI file do the trick?

There are lots of ini.. does anyone know which ones contain the paths I am concerned with?

Thanks

I should say External Drive, not new drive.. the C will remain intact and the G will be external.

Replacing C:\ in the ini with G:\ should do the trick. Its config\gamex.ini that stores the configuration where \data\data.db3 stores favorites and most played etc. Ensure you install GameEx over the top on your G: drive installation. You might want to delete data\data.db3 prior to installing if you have moved your games as it references the paths. You will then lose favourites and most played etc.
